IMpORTAnT SAFeTy InSTRUCTIOnS
When using any pneumatic tool, all safety precautions, as outlined
below, should be followed to avoid the risk of death or serious injury. Read and
understand all instructions before operating the tool.
The definitions below describe the level of severity for each signal word. Please read the
manual and pay attention to these symbols.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially haz ard ous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not
avoided, may result in property damage.
• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation
material, or dust which could harm operator's eyes.
Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety
glasses with side shields. These safety glasses must
conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glases
have "Z87" printed or stamped on them). It is the
employer's responsibility to enforce the use of eye
protection equipment by the tool operator and other
people in the work area. (Fig. A)
• Minimize flying dust and debris by rotating 360˚
exhaust to appropriate setting.
• Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other
protection during use. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this product may contribute
to hearing loss. (Fig. A)
• Use only clean, dry, regulated air. Condensation from
an air compressor can rust and damage the internal
workings of the tool. (Fig. B)
• Regulate air pressure. Use air pressure compatible
with ratings on the nameplate of the tool. [Not to
exceed 120 psi (8.3 bar).] Do not connect the tool to a
compressor rated at over 175 psi. The tool operating
pressure must never exceed 175 psi even in the event of
regulator failure. (Fig. C)
• Only use an air hose that is rated for a maximum
working pressure of at least 150 psi (10.3 bar) or
150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is
greater. (Fig. D)
